Autism Jersey’s recently held Annual Golf Day flagship fundraiser, sponsored for the fourth consecutive year by Hawksford, succeeded in raising a record-breaking sum of £39,385 to support the work of the local charity.
Held on Friday 21 August 2026, the initiative once again saw a broad cross-section of local individuals and organisations taking part, with 24 teams participating in what was a sold-out event.
An enjoyable morning of golf with an 18-hole Stableford competition was followed by a delicious three-course lunch, prize giving, raffle and auction, all held at La Moye Golf Club. The winning teams for the Autism Jersey Golf Day 2026 were:
- 1st place: Nedbank Private Wealth
- 2nd place: Quilter Cheviot
- 3rd place: Hawksford Par-Tee
This year’s event raising a record-breaking amount means that almost £100,000 has been raised in total over the past four years, when Hawksford became the event’s sponsor.
Lesley Harrison, Head of Charitable Services at Autism Jersey, said: “Once again, our annual Golf Day proved to be a huge success. As our flagship event, it is vitally important in terms of raising both understanding and much needed funds for Autism Jersey, so that as a charity we can continue to provide much needed services for autistic individuals and their families in the island.
“With that in mind, I’m hugely grateful for all those who took part in the event and made it such an enjoyable day, as well as those who helped organise and support the and Hawksford for their ongoing support. My congratulations also go to this year’s winners.”
Gavin Wilkins, Chief Commercial Officer at Hawksford, who presented the prizes to the winning teams alongside Autism Jersey Chairman Nick Hutchinson, added: “I’m really pleased that we have played a part in supporting such a vital local charity and enabling Autism Jersey to raise almost £100,000 through their golf days over the past four years – and I’m equally delighted that we are able to continue our sponsorship into next year too. It continues to be a really tough environment for charities, so for this year to be a bumper year is fantastic, and I’d like to thank all those who took part.”
